Blind spot mirrors

Convex add-on mirrors stick onto the glass of the wing mirror or its edge, and most swivel 360°. Round ones measure 4.9 to 9.5 cm across, rectangular and oval ones up to 14.5 × 6.5 cm, and double mirrors show the front and rear wheel at once. Larger round mirrors also suit vans and lorries.

Inside the car, A-pillar mirrors sit next to the wing mirror, where you naturally look anyway. One slides into the gap by the door seal with a clip, the other rests on a magnetic mount and, according to the manufacturer, gives up to 270° of view, including the back seats. Position the A-pillar mirror so it doesn’t block your view or sit in the curtain airbag zone.

Electronic blind spot monitoring uses two 24 GHz radar sensors at the rear. When a vehicle appears alongside, a light comes on by the mirror. Have a professional wire the electronic system into the car’s electrics. Convex glass makes the image smaller, so vehicles look further away than they are. Always check over your shoulder before changing lanes.
